ok, i see, i havent been on for awhile, sorry to hear about it dude, BUT on an upside good relationships usually have an odd fight or too, and when you get back together it will be very special
First - to Belial : no girlfriend here - been happily married for 20+ years.
Now, as far as my thread starts: I think this way quite a bit - always have. Everybody I know always calls me too deep. One thing I've noticed on this messageboard is a level of depth I don't get in my everyday life. Thus, I feel I can start threads such as this, and I get decent responses.
But also, yes, there are medical problems in the family with my 16-year old daughter. Depression - a sucky thing to deal with. But that is not the reason for my type of thread starts - I just like to talk deep.

without knowing the source for her depression, it's hard to make a recommendation. If you can help her ride with it, time has been known to help. There's nothing like feeling helpless is there?

You mean time?
Good times are relative to anything else I suppose. Were the earlier days of this forum "better days", or did it just seem new then?
Did the teenagers of the sixties have any more fun than the teenagers of the ninties, or are they just all grown-ups now?
I think good times can be found in that mysterious parallel dimension that contains Jimmy Hoffa and all the socks ever lost in the dryer.
Well, we still haven't arrived at a point yet, and we may not know for a long time, if ever at all.
For the past year and a half, I know the feeling of being handcuffed and in a straight jacket. Helpless as a definition doesn't even come close. And if I'm like this, I have no true idea what my daughter must be going through. And the same can be said for my wife. So I live each day partially in the dark, with no light at the end of that tunnel. Doubt, pessimism, fear, disgust, anger : these are just a few emotions that have bubbled to the surface over the past year +.
But you know what? I don't wallow in self pity, but I'm also at the opposite end of euphoric. A purgatory of the mind. But I've held up pretty well so far - at least I'm confident I could do no better. I've done what I'VE needed to do to get through the day. I sit back and analyze myself a lot, but I refuse to look at the negative parts of my analysis and let them weigh me down. Basically, I'm OK right now.
Except for being helpless (as defined above)

From my experience - sometimes yes - but not quite fully. The majority of cases as I've seen them have some sort of abuse attached to them - friend, family, foe, whoever. Some are chemical - seratonin in the brain gets messed up. But even thinking it's chemical, most in the profession still look for some sort of trauma. I think it's human natures way of convincing ones self that chemical isn't a good enough answer - or at least an instinct that one continues to seek out an answer, but is never satisfied. There is always the feeling that there is a better answer out there. And boy, does that type of thinking take up a chunk of your life. It's the search for the source that exists in most mental illness cases - depression, anxiety, SI, anger, etc.
